Chapter 41
Tang Yun glanced at the black-robed person, a flash of determination in his eyes: "Our battle, we'll settle it later!"
After saying this, Tang Yun leaped and jumped into the ocean.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" The black-robed person sneered and followed him down.
In the deep sea, countless eggs emitting bizarre light floated, constantly hatching a type of jellyfish-like creature. These creatures had sharp teeth and tentacles, crazily attacking everything in the ocean.
Tang Yun dived into the Mariana Trench, and the scene before him shocked him to the core.
Countless "Gene Devourers" surged like a tide, their bodies shimmering with a metallic luster, claws and teeth bared, exuding a nauseating stench.
"This... there are too many of them!" Tang Yun's heart sank; he knew he couldn't fight such a massive insect tide alone.
Just then, the Holy Son's voice came from the Taixu Medicine Cauldron: "Daddy, I found a solution!"
"Holy Son?" Tang Yun was overjoyed, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Daddy." The Holy Son's voice was childish, "I transmitted the 'Taixu Gene Atlas' from the parallel universe, take a look!"
Tang Yun immediately checked the Taixu Gene Atlas and found a method recorded on it that could purify the gene virus.
"Great!" Tang Yun said excitedly, "Holy Son, you really are my lucky star!"
"Daddy, the Chaos Medical Qi in your body can purify the eggs!" the Holy Son added.
Tang Yun suddenly realized; he immediately mobilized the Chaos Medical Qi, and a powerful energy surged from his body, forming a massive purification vortex on the seabed.
The "Gene Devourers" were sucked into the vortex, their bodies began to dissolve, and ultimately they vanished into nothingness.
On the global live broadcast screen, people clearly saw the scene of Tang Yun battling the insect tide in the deep sea.
"Holy crap! Tang Yun is too awesome!"
"He can fight the entire insect tide by himself!"
"Simply a god!"
People discussed it heatedly, their faces filled with shock and worship.
At the United Nations Headquarters, the Secretary-General watched the live broadcast, his face pale, trembling all over: "Humanity... humanity is going to perish..."
Just then, Tang Yun's voice suddenly rang out in the global broadcast: "I have the final say."
Tang Yun was seen holding a sphere shimmering with seven-colored light; it was the core of the eggs.
He exerted force and squeezed the sphere until it exploded.
The moment the egg core exploded, Tang Yun felt a strong sense of dizziness. He felt as if he were in a massive vortex, everything around him becoming twisted and blurred. The Taixu Medicine Cauldron emitted a dazzling golden light, enveloping him within it.
"Daddy, hold onto me!" the Holy Son's voice rang out in the medicine cauldron, carrying a hint of anxiety.
Tang Yun grabbed the Holy Son's little hand, feeling a warm current surge into his body, dispelling the dizziness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world.
Towering buildings shimmered with strange light, various shaped aircraft floated in the sky, and the "people" walking on the streets were also in various forms—some had wings, some dragged long tails, and some were simply energy bodies.
"Where... is this?" Tang Yun muttered to himself.
"Parallel universe." The Holy Son's voice rang in his ear, "I established the 'New Medicine King Civilization' here, but..."
Before the Holy Son finished speaking, a piercing alarm suddenly rang out.
"Warning! Gene Arbitrator invasion detected!" a cold mechanical voice echoed in the air.
Immediately after, countless massive warships appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun and sky, exuding a suffocating pressure.
"Gene Arbitrator?" Tang Yun frowned, "What is that?"
"They are the gene police in the universe, specifically tasked with clearing out civilizations that don't meet their standards." The Holy Son's voice carried a hint of fear, "They think our gene chains are too messy and are a 'cancer' of the universe."
Tang Yun's heart sank; he never expected the Holy Son to face such a massive crisis.
Just then, the Taixu Medicine Cauldron suddenly vibrated violently, and a space-time channel slowly opened.
"Daddy, come in quickly!" the Holy Son shouted anxiously.
Tang Yun jumped into the space-time channel without hesitation, and everything before his eyes became blurred and twisted again.
When he regained his vision, he found himself in a magnificent palace.
In the center of the palace, a man in a black robe stood with his back to him, exuding powerful pressure.
"You are..." Tang Yun asked tentatively.
The man slowly turned around, revealing a face exactly like Tang Yun's.
"I am you, you in this parallel universe." The man said coldly, "A gene dictator."
Tang Yun was shocked; he never expected that he in a parallel universe would become like this.
"Why would you do this?" Tang Yun questioned.
"For survival." The parallel universe Tang Yun said calmly, "In this universe where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive."
Just then, the Holy Son suddenly flew out of the Taixu Medicine Cauldron, his body emitting dazzling light, a pair of massive wings growing from his back, and a pair of sharp horns growing on his head.
"Taixu Gu God! Ultimate form!" the Holy Son shouted, and a powerful energy fluctuation swept out, shaking the entire palace.
"This is..." Tang Yun looked at the Holy Son in surprise; he never expected the Holy Son to possess such powerful strength.
"My gene chain can be compatible with alien technology and the ancient Medicine King methods." The Holy Son explained, "I can absorb their power and make it my own."
The parallel universe Tang Yun's expression changed drastically; he never expected the Holy Son to be so powerful.
"You... who on earth are you?" the parallel universe Tang Yun asked in terror.
"I am your son." the Holy Son said coldly, "And also your terminator."
As soon as the Holy Son finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and charged toward the parallel universe Tang Yun.
Tang Yun saw this and immediately drew the Slaying Fate Sword, slashing at the space-time channel.
"Crack!" With a loud bang, the space-time channel was severed, and the parallel universe Tang Yun vanished along with it.
"Daddy, why did you do that?" the Holy Son asked in confusion.
"I cannot let him continue to harm other universes." Tang Yun explained, "I must sever his causal line with this universe."
The Holy Son nodded, indicating he understood.
Tang Yun looked at the shattered space-time channel, and a sense of inexplicable sorrow suddenly rose in his heart.
He didn't know if what he did was right or wrong.
Just then, ten thousand timelines suddenly emerged in the Taixu Medicine Cauldron, each representing a different future.
"Daddy, which one do we choose?" the Holy Son asked.
